When Enhance is enabled, a unique set of electronic components is introduced into the signal path to recreate the input stage of a classic tube guitar amplifier. This circuit mimics the behavior and characteristics of a tube amplifier, enhancing the tone, touch, feel and response.\n\n\n\nWhen POLAR \"Enhance\" is enabled, Blackstar's innovative input stage will never digitally clip. No more ruining recording takes or the hassle and confusion of setting the \"right\" levels. POLAR allows musicians to control the interface just like they would a real amplifier's preamp.\n\n\n\nThe POLAR interface was developed within a human-centered design framework to create a user-friendly solution that allows musicians to focus on what matters most: the music. It's easy to see why Blackstar's POLAR is the perfect audio interface for anyone who wants to play and record guitar.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003e4 channel audio interfaces designed for guitarists.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eHigh-headroom FET input stage that improves tone and quality of signal and accommodates for wide range of instrument types, effect pedals and microphones.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003e‘Enhance’ feature that introduces electronics into the signal path that replicate the sound of a classic guitar amplifier.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003e'Enhance’ completely prevents digital clipping for instrument inputs.
